$22 for an empty box, albums sold separately? That's some next-level milking.

Milking is people selling the empty box second hand for double the price... before it's even been shipped out.

For what it's worth I think this is the source of the Leon recordings I've been listening to.
If this is what record labels were presented with originally then yes, it's clear they wouldn't want to release it as is. Still - I love all this stuff and don't see why it couldn't have been issued as a bonus disc with Outside.

I'm assuming liveandwell.com will get tossed in with the six live albums.

Stardust drops Nov 25 in theaters and on VOD.

[fillow]

Annd that's a big fucking Nope from me, which only got bigger since this movie was first announced

[ickyvicky]

Yeah, I'm not feeling it either

[ManBurning]

I think it looks great.

But then again, I usually like what everyone else hates and hate what everyone else likes so... *shrugs*

[BRoswell]

Dear god, that music in the trailer was awful. I like the look of the film, but everything else about it just turned me off. Definitely a hard pass.

[fillow]

The film doesn't even have any db music/songs in it FFS

Just watch Velvet Goldmine, everybody!

[eversonpoe]

Just watch Velvet Goldmine, everybody!

[botley]

Just watch Velvet Goldmine, everybody!

This is the correct opinion.

that movie Stardust looks so unbelievably bad. I'm actually kind of offended by the trailer. It looks like a biopic put together by a bunch of shrewd advertising people who really don't care about the music, they just want to sell a narrative and cash in on the fact that he's too dead to tell them to fuck off.

agreed. i mean...i still can't believe they went ahead with this without the rights to the music. how do you make a david bowie movie without, you know...david bowie's music?

Well, Velvet Goldmine didn't have any either (unless you count "Satellite of Love"), and it's basically retelling this same story.

At least Velvet Goldmine was a little creative and didn't pretend to be a biopic.

I would argue that 68-72 isn't even the most interesting period in DB career, story-wise. Yeah, his early struggles are amusing, but not as much as all of his transformations from Ziggy to the modern years

What's the difference with other biopics?

yeah, i think because velvet goldmine wasn't marketed as a biopic, but its own story based on SOME stuff that actually happened, no one was expecting there to be actual music by bowie (and the music we get in that movie is SO FUCKING GOOD). this is literally a biopic of david bowie, without his music. wtf?

What's the difference with other biopics?

Other biopics are often made with top-tier talent, showcase the music, and have the blessing of the person (or their estate) being portrayed.

[r_z]

I really liked the biopic by Danny Boyle about Steve Jobbs. Showing the guy in four important moments of his career instead of going for the typical chronological recount of his life was a great idea.

I think this would work well with Bowie, too... like for example showing him backstage right after he killed off Ziggy, in Berlin recording Heroes, in a hospital bed after his heart attack and then while filming the video for Lazarus.

Not always, "The Doors" movie, comes to mind....
